Deciding Between Laser and Wrinkle Fillers (Can Only Afford One). Which Works Better?

The upper lip vertical lines respond better to resurfacing but will still be there because of the muscle movement. Smile creases respond better to filler such as Radiesse.

In general, laser is good for fine lines and wrinkles, fillers for moderate wrinkles and surgery for moderate to severe wrinkles.  Also, areas with thin skin, such as the eyelids, laser is a better option since fillers may leave obvious lumps.  Radiesse is a great filler for the cheeks and around the mouth.  Juvederm is a great filler for the lips and the nasolabial folds.  Good luck.
